Thornbury Doctor Has Medical License Suspended

A former Thornbury doctor has had his medical license suspended for committing an act of misconduct. At a hearing on February 13th, a discipline committee of the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons found Dr. Reza Yaghini committed an act of misconduct when he accessed the personal health records of a fellow doctor that he did not have the authorization to see.

Yaghini used to operate a family practice in Thornbury, and was working at the Meaford Hospital when the act of misconduct occurred. The committee found that in June 2013, Yaghini accessed the records of a fellow doctor through the hospital’s emergency record system.
